The Mystery of Irma Vep

By Charles Ludlam

Directed by Charles "Skip" Grover

Cited as "one of the best plays of 1984" by both the New
York Times and Time magazine, "The Mystery of Irma Vep" is a
tongue-in-cheek tale of dark secrets and light moments,
featuring two actors, eight characters, dozens of costumes, and
lots of lightning-quick changes! A sympathetic werewolf, a
vampire and an Egyptian mummy star in this hilarious send-up of
Victorian melodramas. The plot wings its way from an old manor
house with a wooden-legged goatherd to an ancient Egyptian
tomb, complete with creepy native guides and pith-helmeted
Western imperialists. "Irma Vep" has humor for everyone, from
quick sight gags to political commentary and everything in
between. You'll have to see it to believe it -- and you might
not even believe it then!
